    Well, my bike is having issues.

    1.) Its hard to start. I may have to start it three time before it stays running.

    2.) While driving down the road it feels restricted. Like I am also applying the brake. But in the motor.

    3.)The FI light comes on after shifting out of first or second gear.

    4.) Then the throttle becomes very twitchy. Very sensitive and jumpy.

    Any thoughts?

    2000 with 20K, recent oil, spark plug and air filter change. Switched to NGK plugs.

    Not sure on the 5th gen but 6th gen there are some pins you put a jumper wire on and the FI light flashes out the code(s) then you can find the troubleshooting procedure in the manual maybe?

    How do I get that. A quick search didn't pull anything up, and I am at work, so no access to my manual.
